Ways to get Oracle Client Version..?

Hi.
I want to check the oracle client version on my machine.
Do we have any command utility to get the client version(like osql in sql server)/ways to do this.?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Just type the utility/command and you should get the version. Here is an example:
$ sqlplus /?
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
$ expdp help=y
Export: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit ProductionOr, from the GUI, click on Help > About.

Displaying an oracle client version

Could any one please tell me how to tell the version of a given oracle client installation in a UNIX environment.
In other words, suppose I want to know what client version (and patch) is installed on /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7, how can I do that? is there a script/command that I can run?
Thanks
--M.B.

One simple way I can suggest is login to sqlplus. You get the client version as well as the database version in it on top.

Where can I get Oracle Client 10.2.0.2 or Oracle Client 10.2.0.5

I need a Oracle Client version 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.5. Where can I get it? I tried oracle site, It only give me the base version of it 10.2.0.1.
My client application has to have the correct version. Does anybody know where can I get it?
This is urgent!
Thanks a lot!

Assuming you mean the database client, 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.4 are currently available. If they are not available in base form for your platform, then you take the highest one that IS available and download and apply the related patches.
My client application has to have the correct version. Does anybody know where can I get it?
In which case you want to discuss about the Oracle Support contract that your client currently is using.
This is urgent!
Apparently not. If it was, you would ask in the correct place - Oracle Support.
You are asking in a forum of volunteers. There can, by definition, be nothing urgent in these discussions because you are not guaranteed an answer, never mind a timely answer. Even then the answer is not guaranteed to be correct. Especially since virtually none of the answers officially comes from Oracle.

Query Oracle client version

Is there a way to tell the Oracle client version (9i or 10g) that is being used by SQL Developer from within SQL Developer? Our Citirx admin installed 10g client on the server and I am trying to verify that the 10g client is indeed being used by the SQL Developer.
In Toad there is a "Support Bundle" menu option to list the environment information (including the SQL client version) used by Toad. Is there something similar within SQL Developer?

I am trying to verify that the 10g client is indeed being used by the SQL DeveloperSQL Developer uses whatever client you're connected to.
You don't believe your admin really installed 10g? C'mon!
Is there something similar within SQL Developer?Reports - Data Dictionary Reports - About your Database - Version Banner
Have fun with 10g,

Oracle Client Version

Hi,
We are on PT 8.46.04 and FSCM 8.8 and planning to upgrade the Batch NT server Hardware running on Windows Server 2000 SP4 to WIndows Server 2003.
We are also upgrading the Oracle database from 9.0.2.1.0 to 10g.
My question is, do we need to upgrade the Oracle Client on the APP and BATCH servers to match the Database Version or still keep the old Oracle client version which is 9.0.2.1.0?
can we have different database and client versions?
And also does Oracle support client 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows server 2003 .
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

can we have different database and client versions?The official and recommanded way by Peoplesoft is to meet the same version between client (what ever client machine, application server and batch server) and the database server.
And also does Oracle support client 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows server 2003 Yes, Oracle 9.2 is certified on Windows 2003 (however, 9.2.0.3 or higher patchset was required).
No, it is not supported because Oracle 9.2 is is not supported anymore.

Is it a correct way to get oracle skin?

I have created a custom skin by coping oracle’s css file (oracle-desktop-10_1_3_1_0-en-ie-6-windows-s) from the cache memory of the solution of SRDEMO application. Then registered that with a name (eg MySkin) in adf-faces-skin.xml and configured an application to use this new skin.
When I did the SRDEMO again with the new skin that I created, the pages look completely different even though I didn’t modify the original skin copied from the solution of SRDEMO.
1.     Why does it give different look and feel?
2.     Is it a correct way to create a custom skin?
3.     If the answer to the question is no, is there any way to get oracle skin?
Thank you

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply,
I don’t think that I messed up the configuration file. I have done the following.
1. Copied css file from cache and saved that file as css/myskin.css
2. Then I registered myskin.css in adf-faces-skins.xml as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<skins xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/skin">
<skin>
<id>myskin.desktop</id>
<family>myskin</family>
<render-kit-id>oracle.adf.desktop</render-kit-id>
<style-sheet-name>css/myskin.css</style-sheet-name>
</skin>
</skins>
3. Then I configured SRDemo to use that skin in adf-faces-config.xml as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<adf-faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config">
<skin-family>myskin</skin-family>
</adf-faces-config>
Could you please let me know whether it is correct or not?

How to install Oracle client Version 10.2.0.4 on a Windows server 2008

Hi,
I need to install an Oracle client on a Windows Server 2008 (32-bit), how do I do that?
I want to install Oracle client version 10.2.0.4 (Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications).
Pls. advice, I can't find instructions for this installation on Oracle.com or anywhere else.

thx, it looks promising...
but how to run the .jar files and which one to run, both Class12.jar and ojdbc14.jar, to start the installation?
Do I need to install the java runtime environment to run the .jar files?

How to run different Oracle client versions on the same PC

I have developped an application (.Net 2.0, ODP v. 10). I must run it on PC where Oracle client version 8 is installed. The PC cannot be upgraded because of a client software running under this version.
I tried to install ODP v. 10 on this PC in different home, but the software using version 8 stops running.
Can Oracle Instant Client help ? But which version, 11 ? My application is based on ODP 10. Can ODP 10 access database via Instant Client 11 ?
Thanks for your help
LK

The problem on Windows is: The 10g installation changed the default ORACLE_HOME,now it points to 10g and makes the 8.0.5 application invalid,because it runs now in a much higher environment. What I did in a similar situation, I created a batch file, which sets temporarily the old environment (in my case PATH,ORACLE_SID,ORACLE_HOME) and then invokes the application.
I don't know whether such a solution will work for you (8.0.5 is very old,desupported since a long time), my old version was 8.1.7.4.

HT201364 i have all the requirements except 8gb of available space. my mac only has 4gb capacity.is there any way to get a smaller version of the mavericks software?

I have all the requirements except8gb of available space. my mac only has 4gb capacity.is there any way to get a smaller version of the mavericks software?

That refers to free disk space, not RAM. If your computer has 4GB of RAM, that's enough. If it only has 4GB of free disk space, you need to delete content from the internal drive; for best results, free up at least 20GB.

How do I check the oracle client version?

Hi All,
     How do I check the oracle client version installed from the OS level. I do know my database version I need to check which client is being used. Is there a table where this information is stored.
Thanks
Shabna

disp+work.exe -V will tell you which OCI version was used during compiling and linking.
Oracle uses release independent DLL Names (Unix people would say Shared Libraries) and therefore the SAP Kernel will dynamically load any Oracle Client Version found in the standard DLL Load Path during startup.
If you have more versions installed on your computer and you are not shure which one is loaded you can use Process Explorer (freeware, see www.sysinternals.com) to find out which one is loaded. If they belong to an Oracle_home (up to release 9.2) refere to Oracle Universal Installers Inventory information in order to find out which exact version is used.
If an Oracle10 Instant Client is used, there is no corresponding Oracle_Home. In this case you can use Windows Explorer (right click on the DLL -for example oci.dll), select properties, the Version Tab and File Version).
But unfortunately Oracle is not updating the File Version every time they are patching something.
An SAP ABAP Server Integrated Resource is the version information disp+work.exe -V is listing (evquivalent to SM51 - Release Information).
<b>Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)</b>
OCI_10201_SHARE is telling us the compile/link environment, the number in brackets (only available starting with Oracle10) tells us the the result of an Oracle Client GetVersion call. Unfortunately this one does also not reflect the installed Minipatch version up to now.
Here are some results on 10.2.0.2 Windows X86_64:
SM51: Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)
Explorer (OCI.DLL located in the same directory as disp+work.exe):
   10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
Explorer (oraociicus10.dll - the instant client implementation, this version is the one actual since mini patch 10.2.0.2.5 and it was definitely changed in 10.2.0.2.5):
   OraOCIICUS10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0
   oracore10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oranls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   orasnls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraunls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oravsn10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oracommon10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Patch1
   orageneric10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
   oraclient10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
   orapls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Patch1
   orasql10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraxml10.dll - 10.1.0.2.0
   orahasgen10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocrutl10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocr10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocrb10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oranbeq10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   orantcp10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
oracommon10.dll from the rdbms server does report 10.2.0.2.0 Patch5 at the same time. compare it with the version information of oracommon10.dll included in oraociicus10.dll. Both patches are included in the same patchset (10.2.0.2.5).
there are two possible conclusions about this:
1. the version infomation is not very reliable.
2. the Oracle Patch and Build environment is not very reliable

Find Oracle client version

hi guys,
How can you find which Oracle client version does SAP 4.6D is using to connect with Oracle.
is there any file or Parameter setting available for this.
Thanks.
Chandra

Hello,
I'm afraid that the answer given by Samrat Dangeti is incorrect.
V$VERSION tells you the version of the RDBMS ( Oracle Database ) not the version of the client used by SAP.
Please, check the following thread on the Oracle Forum where this is being clarified.

ORACLE CLIENT VERSION INFO

Hi Oracle Guru`s
I`m going to update Oracle databases to 11.2.0.3 from 9i,10G and 11.10.7.0. May I know the Oracle Client versions that supports 11.2.0.3?

I am sure any 11.2 client will be supported for sure.So why not 11.2.0.3? 11.1 and 10.2 are only being supported with extended support. 7,8,9 client are not oficially supported.
